My Experience At The Grocery Store: The Inconvenience Of Online Payment And The Missed Scan Item

Hey, Hive buddies!
‎
‎Today, I'm going to share my experience at the grocery store.
‎
‎Remember the time, when we went to the grocery store with my baby Aiden and hubby?

As we decided to check out our basket, I tried to pay using GCash, opting for the convenience of online payment over traditional cash.
‎
‎However, as I opened the app, the payment process flashed an error message.
‎
‎At that moment, I felt a surge of frustration.
‎
‎I tried again, but the same error message appeared.
‎
‎I took a deep breath and attempted it a few more times, hoping that persistence would pay off.
‎
‎Finally, after several tries, the payment went through, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

With our groceries paid for, my hubby and I walked to set off.
‎
‎That time, I pulled out the receipt to double-check the items we'd purchased.

That's when I noticed something strange.
‎
‎One of the items wasn't listed on the receipt.
‎
‎It seemed we got it for free.
‎
‎At first, I was tempted to let it slide, thinking it wasn't a big deal.
‎
‎But then I thought about how I'd feel if I were the store owner or the cashier.
‎
‎I wouldn't want someone to take advantage of my business, even if it was an honest mistake.
‎
‎So I turned to my hubby and said that the cashier missed scanning one item, so we should go back and let her know.
‎
‎My hubby agreed that it was the right thing to do.
‎
‎So we headed back to the store, and I approached the cashier.
‎
‎I said that she has missed scanning the item, and we will pay for it.
‎
‎The cashier thanked us and quickly scanned the item.
‎
‎I then paid the additional amount and left the store once again.
‎
‎This experience taught me an invaluable insight.
‎
‎That honesty isn't just about doing the right thing when it's easy.
‎
‎It's about doing it even when it's inconvenient.
‎
‎And it's not just about following rules or avoiding trouble.
‎
‎It's about building trust and respect for others.
‎
‎Hope you learned something today...
‎
‎Do you prioritize honesty too in your own life?
‎
‎I hope you do. ✨
‎
‎Until our next experience...
‎
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 👋🥰
